Welcome to the

2025 Mississippi High Schools Activities Association

Congressional Debate State Championship

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To all of our MHSAA Schools, Participants, and Coaches:

The Mississippi High School Activities Association welcomes everyone to the MHSAA State Congress Competition for the 2024-2025 school year!

Our speech and debate competition continues to be one of the top events on the MHSAA calendar, including more than 20 separate state championships in activities and sports. The opportunity for our students in Mississippi to participate in this contest helps enhance the educational experience for all involved. MHSAA is proud to host this event at Millsaps College on April 4-5, and we will do our part to ensure this event is safe and a success.

Congratulations to all speech and debate students and coaches participating in this prestigious event. Congressional Debate is a pillar in the Speech and Debate community, and the hard work our students put into it has been showcased both in and out of state.

I would also like to thank my MHSAA Speech & Debate Committee for the help and support throughout the year, and we are looking forward to hosting our exceptional students!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Rachel Clapper-Davis

MHSAA Coordinator of Speech and Debate
